LATEST ADDITION: Other half of my Daytona!!
Recently just acquired the other half of my Daytona...a sister watch!! It is a one owner piece 100% complete and untouched piece. An A-series 16520 with black dial. It even has the original receipt and original protective sticker that was on the clasp originally....all of this saved!! One of the last ones ever made!! Not quite vintage but getting there!!

Here's some pics for you to enjoy:







Here are shots with its bigger brother!!

Thanks Patrick!! It definitely wasn't an easy find. A package this complete and with a watch that's 100% untouched is rare these days. Most of them have been polished or at least missing something. I feel very very lucky and fortunate to have come across this piece.

Congrats. The Zeniths are in deed very close to being considered vintage & IMHO will be when the next Daytona is introduced.

I agree. Year wise it may not be considered but I think model wise with the newer ceramics maybe coming out soon, I would maybe consider it vintage soon!
